Testimonial Letter from I.O.O.F Home & Community Therapy Center

To whom it may concern,

Choosing to work with Scott Deetz and the Schooley Mitchell team was an easy decision, given my seven-year friendship with Scott and my confidence in his team’s honesty and professionalism.

At the I.O.O.F. Home & Community Therapy Center, we’ve been dedicated to providing innovative and compassionate care since 1903. always with a focus on the evolving needs of the North Iowa’s orphans and elderly. In our pursuit of excellence and expansion of services, we must manage our resources wisely.

The process of working with Schooley Mitchell was transparent and efficient. After a brief discussion about our operations and sharing our invoices and contracts. Scott’s team conducted a thorough analysis of our expenses, particularly in facility supplies and waste. To our delight, they not only identified a significant 9% savings in facility supplies. but also a 20% savings in waste. On top of that, they uncovered a billing error that, once corrected, nearly saved us an additional $700.

Altogether Scott and his team at Schooley Mitchell were able to find us savings totaling 29%. a substantial amount that will greatly assist us in reallocating our budget towards our core mission of community care.

We are immensely satisfied with the results achieved by Schooley Mitchell and highly recommend their services to any organization looking to maximize their cost savings effectively.

Respectfully,

Michael Davis
Administrator IOOF Home

Testimonial Letter from Glowacki Management

Glowacki Management Company, a regional leader in property management, is dedicated to providing superior service and maximizing value to our clients. We are committed to ensuring our clients’ operations are running in a smart and cost-effective manner, so we are always looking for innovative opportunities to create value for them.

In 2022, Adam Baker and his team at Schooley Mitchell were referred to us. After hearing about the risk-free analysis, I was interested in seeing what they could do, both for our operations and for our clients and in the time since they haven’t disappointed.

Adam and his team reviewed multiple expense categories for our internal operations, including wireless and desk phones, internet, and shipping. For our clients, we had them review telecom and waste management expenses to see what they could come up with. Using their best-in-class software and national benchmarking data, they were able to create great savings for us and our clients!

Immediately, Schooley Mitchell identified a monthly fee our shipping company was unnecessarily charging us and walked us through how to have it removed.

After completing their telecom analysis, they were able to save us 35% every month on our wireless, voice, and internet services. The best part was that it didn’t require us to change any vendors, it was bottom-line savings with no operational impact!

Schooley Mitchell also came through big for our clients. When they reviewed all the waste expenses for our clients, they delivered a report that broke down all the services, costs, and contract dates for each client location, which was immensely valuable. For some of our clients, they validated their costs were optimized, and for others, they deliver savings of almost 25% off their monthly costs.

The financial results of our engagement with Adam and Schooley Mitchell have been great, but one of the real benefits of having worked with them is that they now handle our service-related issues with the vendors. They’ve identified billing errors and gone after the vendor for refunds, allowing us to focus on other ways to serve our clients.

I highly recommend Adam and Schooley Mitchell to any organization, especially property management firms. The Schooley Mitchell team is another tool we use to provide exceptional service to our clients, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

Testimonial Letter from TSHD Architects

1010 Coles Blvd. Portsmouth, OH 45662

February 16, 2024
To Whom It May Concern:

Schooley Mitchell of Louisa, Lee and Marla Balaklaw, have been our telecom consultants for the past 7 years. To date, they have saved us thousands of dollars. They have most recently obtained promotional pricing from Spectrum for us. They have previously reduced our Spectrum costs. They have obtained other credits for us in the past from Spectrum.

Schooley Mitchell has obtained Verizon line access discounts. They have obtained credits for upgrade fees. In the past, they have found billing errors on Verizon statements and had those corrected.

Lee and Marla have assisted us with Verizon One Talk issues. Several years ago, our staff were having significant issues with Verizon One Talk services for our VoIP telephony. They intervened with Verizon, and item by item fixed all of the outstanding issues that were causing our employees problems. Our employees had been unable to get these issues fixed in their dealings with Verizon. Voicemail passwords had to be reset so voicemails could be received. Correct phone numbers needed to be assigned to the correct devices. Schooley Mitchell in 2019 obtained significant credits in the hundreds of dollars for Verizon One Talk service related to all of the above problems. Verizon had not delivered on its implementation promises, and Schooley Mitchell forced them to live up to the Verizon contract terms. More recently they helped us get new lines activated on previously used desk phones, as our firm has added employees.

Lee and Marla on our Verizon cellular account recommended the move of high data use smartphones to unlimited data plans from shared data plans to avoid exceeding our data limits. This required the creation of a sub-account. That helped us avoid paying expensive data overage fees. They have also assisted with ordering new smartphones.

Previously Schooley Mitchell looked at our natural gas bills and costs, providing a free analysis. Even though they were not able to secure any savings for us, we appreciated their efforts and recommendations.

We highly recommend that other firms hire Schooley Mitchell to evaluate their costs in different categories. They are thorough and meticulous with their approach. They provide technical guidance for the optimization of services. The time that they save us, allows us to focus on our core functions in our architectural firm.

Sincerely,

Mark Holsinger
COO

Testimonial Letter from Bellano Dental Health

To whom it may concern,

I recently had the pleasure of working with Madeleine Borgia of Schooley Mitchell. We engaged Madeleine to audit our telecom and office supply expenses. The prospect of improving our bottom line was incredibly appealing
to us.

Madeleine’s team analyzed our telecom and office supply invoices to determine whether or not savings could be found. I was very impressed with how easy this process was on our end. All that was required was a quick conversation about our setup, access to our invoices and contracts, and then Schooley Mitchell did all the work from there.

When Madeleine came back to me and presented the report, I was delighted to discover that our office supply expenses were already optimized. This assurance is incredibly comforting. Furthermore, they were able to get us upgraded internet services with no increased cost. Since Schooley Mitchell’s only fees are a portion of savings
found, their analysis came at no expense.

Overall, my experience with Schooley Mitchell and Madeleine Borgia was excellent, and I highly recommend any business or organization take advantage of their expertise.

Madeleine is professional and passionate about the work she does!

Sincerely,
Jeff Gardino, CEO

Testimonial Letter from Owen Sound Hyundai

Owen Sound, ON, N4K SN7

Feb 27th , 2024

To whom it may concern,

If you’re looking to save your organization money, I recommend contacting Miguel Cardenas of Schooley Mitchell. We engaged Miguel to audit a few of our operational expenses. The prospect of improving our bottom line was incredibly appealing to us.

We at Hyundai Owen Sound are a new car and full-service dealership that treats the needs of each individual customer as our top priority.

Miguel’s team analyzed our operational expenses and invoices to determine whether or not savings could be found. This process was truly very easy from our end. All that was required was a quick conversation about our setup, access to our invoices and contracts, and then Schooley Mitchell did all the work from there.

I was thrilled when Miguel came back to me and presented the report showing that Schooley Mitchell was able to identify 20% in savings for our waste disposal. These savings will be better spent on the efforts that matter most.

After reviewing our telecom and merchant services setup, Schooley Mitchell found that our expenses are already completely optimized. Discovering that we haven’t been overpaying is a huge relief and that costs us nothing, Miguel and his team only get paid if the expenses they deliver savings on, that is a truly remarkable engagement method.

Overall, my experience with Schooley Mitchell and Miguel Cardenas was fantastic, and I would strongly suggest anyone looking to reduce costs get in touch. Miguel is professional and passionate about the work he does!

Best regards,

Kyle Pearson,
Controller, Owen Sound Hyundai
